Actually AMV Hell 5 was decidedly worse than all other AMV Hells before it, imho... however it's no reason to say that the other people who voted were wrong with it. I'm pretty sure that everybody is entitled to their taste and opinion, especially when it comes down to votes by viewers. It's clearly about personal preferences, so there aren't really any "wrong" or "right" votes in the VCAs. You and I might think that another video should have won in a certain category due to some possibly very valid reasons, but if it lost, then it means that there were more people who enjoyed the winning video over the other one, which means that we are just in a minority of viewers' taste, that's all it means.

Or maybe guys vote for their friends ?

Don't misreading me, it would be the same thing in France and I think it's just "normal" people vote their friends.

Honestly, I'm friends with several of the editors in AMV Hell 5, and I would not have voted for that thing for all the pizza in the world.

Verus was by far the best MEP in the group. This is one of those "image is everything" kind of situations. AMV Hell 3 still has a lasting effect on this community and all of youtube. I think people still associate AMV Hell 3 as some piece of AMV history, and anything similar to it will get a lot of praise, regardless of how good/bad it actually was.

Wow! I didn't realize I won both Best Trailer in the VCAs AND JCAs, thank goodness I posted my last reply in the wrong thread when it was supposed to be this one. XD Sometimes I have too many tabs open. Thanks sooo much to the judges and viewers who voted! I'm really honored and still shocked. Congrats to everyone else as well! There were so many good videos in the lists, I couldn't even mark a vote in all the categories.
